Playable Pirate is a whole new ball game and required an entirely new expansion for Distant Worlds. Expect the same for DW2 as well. If anyone is expecting all races + pirates play through then add another 2 years of development time.

Think better idea to release a base version. Fix all the bugs, crashes, balance issues. Then move on to adding more features.

I agree with this philosophy, better to up quality than content in IMHO. DW2 already looks very comprehensive. Less is more ;).

But, I do very much hope to see new races, and specifically being able to play a Pirate faction in the future

Exactly. This will be the DW1 dev cycle that eventually got to DWU only we get to mostly start with all the refinements of DWU first and then expand on them further.
